I doubt my problem is FC - I apologize in advance if that's the actual case, but I'm hoping that amongst this vast user-base, there's someone who has encountered the same problem and since bittorrent is more and more a vital part to the acquiring of FC, maybe I'm not too off-topic. Anyhow.... My network consists of a Westell 6100 DSL modem configured as a PPPoE connection, presumably by Verizon, my provider - it arrived in plug-and-play configuration, and I did almost nothing to get it up except plug it in to a Windows box and run Verizon's installation disk. Behind the DSL modem is a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. Both are configured to get their address via DHCP, and both are configured to act as DHCP servers; the DSL modem gets its address from Verizon; on the inside it's configured as a 192.168.1.X subnet; my Linksys gets an address in that range, and is in turned configured to pass out addresses in the 192.168.2.X range. All this works well for everything I've tried to do - now, I'm trying to get bittorrent up, and I'm having problems. Presumably, the problem is that I can't configure port forwarding for the Westell since the only device it's seeing is the Linksys, which gets its address dynamically from the Westell. I remember reading here some time ago that the Westell had to be put into bridge mode, and then the router could be configured to get the address from Verizon, and forward ports - my question is, first, is that right? If so, does anyone have any experience configuring the Westell 6100 for bridge mode? Are there other ways to make this work? I've been reading the manuals for the two devices all afternoon, and I've gone to the bittorrent faq to get info, but the section dealing with this problem is sparse... -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
